Community Dance Clubs

Newcastle City Council are working in partnership with The Factory Dance Academy to provide Street Dance sessions for young people aged 6 - 18.

The sessions take place at venues right across the city, are great fun, and for all abilities.  There are also potential opportunities for young people (16+) to become dance leaders too.

All sessions are open to boys and girls and dancers will work on Street, Hip Hop and commercial styles. No experience needed, just plenty of energy.  Dancers will work towards performances and showcases.
